Halo Infinite has been long awaited from fans of the franchise since Halo 5: Guardians launched in 2015 which was six years ago. Today, during the Xbox Bethesda E3 Showcase 343 Industries gave us another look into its Epic Campaign and the free-to-play multiplayer that we’ve only seen glimpses of.

Over the next few days 343i will be doing live streams and doing blog posts detailing more about Halo Infinite. This includes more gameplay and insights from the 343i team on its multiplayer. Here is the schedule below from Halo Waypoint:

Halo Infinite’s Big Team Battle game mode was shown off in glimpses and it’s confirmed that this new and improved BTB mode is 12 vs 12 instead of the classic 8 vs 8 matchup in the past. The two new equipment shown in the new trailer was the Threat Sensor is an area-of-effect support device that periodically pulses and illuminates enemy players within it’s radius while the aptly named Repulsor can be used to deflect projectiles and anything else that gets in the way.

Keep in mind that equipment will be placed throughout the map, so players won’t spawn with those abilities built in bringing back the days of Halo 3 when it comes to using equipment. Ranked and Social matchmaking playlists will also be making a return to Halo Infinite’s multiplayer.

Lastly, a big question for Halo Infinite is will there be a beta? Well, 343i has confirmed that they will be doing a number of technical previews via the Halo Insider program

Halo Infinite is aimed to launch Holiday 2021 with its Epic Campaign and Free-To-Play Multiplayer will launch together.
